I have been doing my cowashes with my powders a least 4 times a week, I have really been kicking it up, making sure I massage my hair & scalp daily with my homemade oils. Last night I did a Hendigo and this morning I did a seperate Indigo treatment. I wanted to see if this would yeild darker results, and I'm pleased to say it did.
Hey ladies, do you know where I can get the powders in bulk? I know of fromnaturewithlove.com, anywhere else? The only one they don't have that I use is Brahmi powder.
I'm not part of the challenge...I'm using heat weekly but I wanted to ask some questions.
I did a paste today of amla, henna, brahmi, shikakai and some DPR11. It all went well except it was really hard to rinse out and I still have some herbs in my hair now..lol. Is there a way to "melt" the herbs? If I used hot tea to mix it up would that dissolve the herbs a bit?
Oh and I have to add, my hair feels really GREAT afterwards. I did a pre-ayurvedic paste of coconut oil then I applied the paste, massaged it in and left it for 1hr and after I rinsed my hair was really soft. I will try it without any conditioner next time.
Hey I get away with not using standard shampoos if I'm using shikakai, right?
That is NOT vedic BrahmiYou can get 16 ounces of brahmi/gotu kola @ www.herbco.com for $4.60
OP I'm gonna have to bow out of this challenge. I WILL be sticking to my vedic regimen but I don't plan on doing any length checks until the summer and I can't keep up with all these challenges lol.
I'll just watch from the sidelines, cheering ya'll on

Ayurvedic brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) is not the same as gotu kola (Centella asiatica) however some books/sites ref to Brahmi as Gotu kola. In ayurveda they are both used but are 2 completely different herbs, although it is suggested that they are related. I have both and use both for hair.
Here is some more info.
Note: brahmi is not Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) although some reference books may say that gotu kola is called brahmi in Sanskrit. Both brahmi and gotu kola are esteemed Ayurvedic herbs.

Note, some herb books may refer to Gotu kola which is Centella asiatica, as Brahmi, and it is sometimes given this common name, but note, Gotu kola is not Bacopa monnieri, the plant which this article is written about

Platinum, I decided to continue my ayurvedic regimen while in braids. I made some tea and added some amla and brahmi powders, let it "cook" for a while then strained it to get the grit out then I added a couple EO and some leave in conditioner and made a braid spray. So far so good Maybe you can still use thos powders?
